At first, when the first batch of patients, that is, those in the capital, developed symptoms, after seeking medical treatment, doctors made a judgment that it was food poisoning, and it was all related to potatoes.

These sick people have all eaten potatoes.

However, everyone has been healed, and there are not too many people involved, and the doctor just instructs not to eat potatoes in the near future and to adjust the body.

This incident, there were some turmoil in the capital, and the news that eating potatoes would get sick began to spread, but it was not too big, let alone the court.

But then, a large number of soldiers in the army developed symptoms, and even one of the men died, and in just one or two days, one-third of the troops guarding the capital appeared large and small diseases, almost paralyzing the guards of the capital!

Only then did it report to Zhu Yuanzhang, and the court was completely shocked!!

In the army, such a large-scale illness is extremely rare, and Zhu Yuanzhang ordered a thorough investigation, and this matter is actually inseparably linked to potatoes.

It turned out that the potatoes that arrived at Jingshi set out from Qidi and traveled a long way, and halfway through, they encountered rainy weather, and the temperature became higher day by day, which accelerated the deterioration of potatoes.

When I arrived in the capital, there was nothing yet, and it had not sprouted, but the storage of potatoes needed to be in the cellar to be the most secure.

But the imperial court was not prepared, the usual grain was piled up in the granary, and there were not so many cellars.

It was impossible for the emperor to dig the cellar himself, so naturally he handed it over to the household department to deal with this batch of potatoes.

Who would have predicted that so many potatoes would be sent this year.

While urgently asking the soldiers to dig the cellar, they sold some potatoes to the market, and by the way, they earned some silver for the household department.

More potatoes are sent directly to the barracks for military food.

And it was this part of the potatoes that flowed out, something went wrong.

At the beginning, the potatoes did not germinate, naturally there was no case, but these potatoes, exposed to the air for such a long time, encountered rain on the way, plus the storage location itself also had problems, Ying Tianfu rained again, the air was humid.

Under the right conditions, it finally germinated.

The people in the city were rare at first, and the price of this potato bought back was not cheap, after all, it belongs to a new species, which can be used as food or fried into vegetables, which is very rare.

Even if it sprouts, can you be willing to throw it?

Remove the buds and continue eating.

Hey, eat, it’s okay!

But once the potatoes sprout, it will become more and more serious, at first it is just some small sprouts, after cutting, the toxins contained in the potatoes are not too much, and there is no riot, even if there is poisoning, that is, one and a half cases, and the symptoms are mild, the doctor can not associate the disease with potatoes.

However, as more and more potatoes sprout, these people are still reluctant to throw them.

Although I heard that the potatoes sprouted, I couldn’t eat them anymore, but I still followed the previous method, removed the sprouts, continued to stir-fry, and ate them.

The same batch of potatoes, the germination time is about a few days before and after, so the phenomenon of concentrated poisoning begins.

Everyone knows that these potatoes are a high-yield crop discovered by His Royal Highness King Qi in Qi and promoted on a large scale in Qidi.

And this time the payment of taxes was also the first time that the summer tax was collected before it was sent to the Beijing master, and it caused a huge uproar and attention both in the court and the people.

For the Seventh Prince, there were also many words of praise, however, there was a reversal in a short period of time, which caught people off guard.

Zhu Yuanzhang’s face turned blue and he sent an official to conduct a thorough investigation.

And then, he turned out the music on the Tie Xuan of Jinan Province.

The chapter is full of nonsense, mainly to invite merit, but it also mentions how to eat potatoes and precautions.

It is clearly stated that after the potatoes have sprouted, they are not edible.

And this batch of potatoes, when they were delivered to the household department, also instructed that after the potatoes sprouted, they should not be eaten.

The whole handover, there was not much problem, the problem appeared in the fact that the cellar was not prepared in advance, resulting in those potatoes that flowed out, all germinated.

And whether it is the people, or the men in the army, they can’t see the waste of food, especially after just germinating and removing it, there is no poisoning, forming a mindset, and in the process of continuing to germinate in the future, the buds are still removed and continue to eat.

Eventually, it leads to collective poisoning.

If you follow the eating method from Qingzhou and Jinan Province, it is impossible to have large-scale poisoning, even if a batch of potatoes sprout, as long as you don’t eat it, it will be absolutely fine.

But this is food, so much food is not eaten, isn’t it wasted?

In this era of difficult eating, it is really a dilemma.

We can’t blame the people for being greedy and cheap, and we can’t blame the guys in the army for taking risks.

It can only be said that Daming is still too poor now, and everyone is hungry and afraid.

The reaction of the court was great, and originally, many ministers were wary of this unfamiliar new breed. Even, the potatoes issued to them by the imperial court, after taking them home, they did not dare to eat them, I wanted to see how the situation was after others ate them, good fellow, something really happened, and even ate human lives!

Now, this batch of potatoes has just been sent to the capital, and there is such a big situation, what does His Royal Highness King Qi want?

The most important thing is that many officials have also been allocated these potatoes, and they have also eaten them, although above the court, no one has been poisoned, but thinking about it is extremely scary, and my back is cold when I think about it!

Grain can actually eat the dead, can he still call it food?!

The ministers did not dare to eat, and the palace did not dare to eat!

Even unsprouted potatoes are terrified when they see it, afraid of eating themselves to death.

Inexplicable fear spread inside and outside the court.

Qunchen strongly advised, cancel potato planting, ban it throughout the country!
